WHY WE CAN'T WAIT
• California is the fourth-largest economy in the world —
yet it is in the bottom half of states for per pupil funding.
•
Education funding at the state and federal levels is
unstable and unreliable, leading to cycles of budget cuts,
educator layoffs, school closures and an ongoing lack of
resources and staffing.
•
Educator wages are far below those of other college-
educated workers, making it challenging for educators to
live in the communities we serve.
This has all resulted in a growing educator recruitment
and retention crisis — and schools that are not adequately
serving students. Learn more at wecantwait.info.
